Game of Thrones is going through another recasting.

Hafthor Julius Bjornsson has been cast as Gregor Clegane, better known as the Mountain, the Icelandic actor announced on Twitter.

"For all my fans! I am happy to tell you that I will be the Mountain in Season 4 in Game of Thrones," he wrote on Tuesday.

Bjornsson replaces Ian Whyte, who replace Conan Stevens as the Mountain in Season 2. The Mountain will reportedly have a larger role in the upcoming fourth season.
